Frequently Asked Questions

Is Cali safe for dental tourism patients?
Yes. Our international patients stay in El Penon, one of Cali's best-known premium districts, travel with a private driver from Alfonso Bonilla Aragon Airport (CLO), and receive a tightly planned itinerary from arrival to departure.
Do you arrange airport transportation?
Yes. We coordinate private airport pickup at CLO and direct transport to your hotel and all scheduled clinic visits, so you never need to negotiate local transportation on your own.
Where do international patients stay?
Most patients stay in 5-star partner hotels in El Penon, a walkable area known for upscale restaurants, boutique hotels, and fast access to the clinic.
Is your team fluent in English?
Yes. The concierge flow is designed for English-speaking patients, including WhatsApp communication, treatment explanations, post-op instructions, and logistics support.
What happens if I need urgent medical support?
We keep an emergency response plan for every international patient and can coordinate with major Cali providers such as Clinica Imbanaco and Fundacion Valle del Lili if broader medical support is ever needed.
Are the dental materials high quality?
Yes. Treatment planning is based around internationally recognized materials and systems, including brands such as Ivoclar Vivadent and Straumann, selected according to the clinical case.
How do international patients pay?
Patients commonly pay by international card or bank transfer. Final payment logistics are reviewed before travel so there are no surprises when treatment begins.
Can I explore Cali during treatment?
Usually yes. We structure appointments so most patients can enjoy restaurants, cultural stops, and light sightseeing between visits, depending on the procedure and recovery window.
